Backbone 5/3/1 Log

No it is some thing a Danish training guro composed(he is a huge fan of old school powerlifters such as Hepburn)

I don´tlog here at the time being but plan on doing it regularly again soon.
My wife has started training, coached by my. After 4 c-sectios her body is a wreck more or less, No power or energy, backpain and so on. And she would like to drop 10 kw of excess.And off course I want to help her.
Slowly we are beginning to improve her. First of all with a lot of ab and low back work, but also leg and ohp work. I made her aware of DOMS, now she understande my whinig in the past :slight_smile:
I got some advice from Mr Wendler himself, and slowly we are preparing her to handle the training, and adding weigth to the bar.

My self I use the training of her as warm up, and then continue with my own training.
Today it was
Deadlift 15 singles of 100 kg, 30 sec pause
military press 8 x 2 with 65 kg 30 sec pause
Frontsquat 5 x 5 with 65 kg
GM 3 x 10 with 60 kg
Lateral raise 3 x 10 x 10 kg for fun
Band pullaparts : 140 reps in sets of 20
Sidebends with blue resistband between around shoulder and foot, 3 x 10 each side.

Tomorrow MTB race at our small island. After 14 days with reain or showers it wil probably be messy.

Training the Wife :

The Plank 3 x 30 sec
45 deg Back Raise : 3x12, me with a 10 kg plate across my chest
Teaching her Power clean- and deadlift-technique.Looks promising
